Flavor & Aroma
Grapefruit Kush carries a pronounced citrus-forward profile thanks to limonene, giving a bright grapefruit and tangy lemon note on the inhale. The exhale often reveals a more grounded mix of pine, earthy diesel and subtle kushy undertones driven by myrcene and caryophyllene. The overall aroma is fresh and zesty with a faint herbal/earthy backbone.
Genetics & Lineage
Grapefruit Kush is typically listed as a cross between Grapefruit and OG Kush. The pairing blends a fruity, sativa-leaning parent with the classic kush background, creating a hybrid that balances uplift and relaxation. Exact breeder and regional variations may differ between producers.
